No, UBI plus current progressive taxes is basically identical to the negative income tax idea. You might want to adjust levels or whatever but that's not strictly necessary.
Some people, mostly people who don't like the idea of UBI seem to think you can't tax it back again and everyone needs to always get X extra every year on top of what they would have before. I'm not sure if they dislike UBI because they think that, or think that because they dislike UBI.
